ABSTRACT

Disclosed are new acid azo dyes prepared from 2-amino-cinnamoylthiophene compounds. These dyes give bright red to blue shades, for example, on polyester, cellulose acetate, wool and particularly polyamide fibers and exhibit improvements in one or more of such properties as bathochromic shift, fastness to light, sublimation, chlorine, heat, ozone, gas, perspiration, crock, and wash, build, pH stability, bloom resistance, depth of shade, leveling, strike rate, migration, and the like. The dyes have the general formula ##STR1## wherein: R 14  is H or alkyl; R is a substituent selected, for example, from alkyl, substituted alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, halogen, nitro, alkoxycarbonyl, alkanoyloxy, alkanoyl, cyano, alkylamino, and dialkylamino; C 1  represents an aniline, tetrahydroquinoline or benzomorpholine coupling component which may be extensively substituted; each of R 12  and R 13  is selected from H, alkyl, alkoxy, acyl, halogen, and the like; and at least one of the water solubilizing groups, --SO 3  M or --OSO 3  M is present in the dye molecule.

The present couplers are prepared by procedures well known in the art as shown in the patent literature, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,805,218; 2,827,450; and 2,839,523. The dyes of the present invention are readily prepared by reacting the acetyl group of known dyes with benzaldehyde or a substituted benzaldehyde in acetic acid with concentrated sulphuric acid as catalyst. The acetyl dye is thus converted to a cinnamoyl dye in high yield. The water-solubilizing group may be the substituent of the benzaldehyde or it may be introduced into the cinnamoyl dye at a later stage. For example, a hydroxy group in either the diazonium component or the coupling component could be reacted with sulphuric acid and then with MOH to give the --OSO₃ M group. Alternatively a chloroalkyl group in the dye could be reacted with K₂ SO₃ to give the --CH₂ SO₃ K group. Another method of introducing the water-solubilizing group would involve sulphonation of an aromatic ring or other reactive grouping in the dye with a sulphonating agent such as H₂ SO₄ or Cl SO₃ H. The water-solubilizing group could also be present in the coupling component prior to diazotization and coupling. The above methods of introducing the water-solubilizing group do not preclude other methods known to the art.

The invention will be further understood from the following examples which are included merely for purposes of illustration and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

EXAMPLE 1 ##STR7##

A mixture of dye (II) (2 g), benzaldehyde-2-sulphonic acid, sodium salt (2g), acetic acid (30 ml) and concentrated sulphuric acid (3 ml) was stirred at 100° C. for two hours The reaction mixture was poured into cold water and made pH 4 by adding 50% KOH solution. The dye (III) was filtered off, washed with a little cold water, and dried. The yield of dye (III) was 2.8 g.

EXAMPLE 2 ##STR8##

A mixture of dye (III) (1.3 g) and ethanolamine (5 ml) was stirred at 25° C. for two hours, then drowned into KCl solution and the dye (IV) filtered off. The yield of (IV) was 2.1 g.

EXAMPLE 3 ##STR9##

The dye (IV) (1 g) was added to stirred cooled conc. H₂ SO₄ (5 ml) and the mixture stirred at 10° C. for 30 minutes. The solution was then added to icewater and made just basic with KOH solution at 0°-10° C., stirred for one hour and the dye filtered off. The yield of dye (V) was 1.3 g.

The dyes (III), (IV) and (V) from Examples 1, 2 and 3 were applied to nylon fibers by known techniques and gave bright blue to greenish blue shades with good dyeing and fastness properties.

By using similar methods to those described above, the following dyes are obtained.

Dyeings on nylon 6,6 carpeting are carried out as follows:

A sample containing 66.70 mg of pure dye is dissolved in hot demineralized water. If the acid dye cake will not dissolve in hot water use 5 ml of 2-methoxyethanol (methyl Cellosolve) or other satisfactory solvent. Sufficient demineralized water is added to make 30:1 dyebath and added are 1% owf ammonium hydroxide, and 0.5% Versene 100 sequestering agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (chelator). The pH is adjusted to 6.0 with acetic acid. A ten gram sample of nylon carpet wet out in demineralized water is entered into the dyebath which is placed in a pressure type Launder-Ometer container. The pressure container is entered into a Launder-Ometer at room temperature. The temperature is brought up to 208° F. at 5° F./minute and the dyeing is carried out at this temperature for one hour. The pressure container is removed from the Launder-Ometer and cooled. The dyed carpet is removed from the pressure container, rinsed in hot filtered water and then cold demineralized water, and dried at 250° F.

The following tables show exemplary dyes of the present invention wherein the --OCO-- groups are oriented either --COO-- or --OOC--.
